I created this account because I want to explore new parts of the world and the people who reside in it. I am a physician assistant who specializes in anesthesiology (certified anesthesiologist assistant). Having never traveled abroad when I was young I'm trying to make up for lost time. So far, the experience has been great!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend recommended it, and I don't want to miss out on a great experience while out traveling the globe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently went on a medical mission trip to Kalibo, Philippines to be part of the anesthesia team working on children with cleft lips, cleft palates, and facial deformities. Then I took my first solo international trip to Tokyo.
